dwarf Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I was just wondering if anyone could give me some examples of public limited companies, private limited companies and sole traders/partnerships. Is nintendo private limited? any information about these businesses much appreciated because i dont understand it much. facts and figures would also help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostophe Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I can think of one example: Aston Villa Football Club Ltd But the only reason I can think of them being a private limited company is because they have only one shareholder. Sorry, I never paid any attention in Business Studies. God, that lesson was shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodleman Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Pretty sure Nintendo are a PLC as they are listed on the stock exchange. PLC means anybody can buy a share in the company. so for examples of PLC's just take a look at the stock market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 PLCs=Public Limited Companies. Anyone can buy a share in them from the stock exchange. Large business (national/international). Example: Nintendo LTDs=Private Limited Companies. Owned by (a) private investor(s). Not on the stock exchange. Large business (national/international). Example: Actually, I can't think of any in particular. Many large businesses will be LTD's without the public actually realising. Partnerships=Owned by 2-20 private investors, medium sized businesses (local/regional). Example: Most law firms. Sole Trader=Owned by one person. Small businesses (local). Example: Hot dog vendor.
